Weighing Weighing is all about experiencing differences in weight. The main goal for children is to understand and use concepts such as heavy, light, and equal. Determining the weight of certain objects with one’s hands or a scale and discovering that the weight of an object does not always seem to correspond with its size are activities which stimulate the development of weighing.

Scales

Children will begin to classify objects as heavy / light, despite object size. Contents: beech wood scale (40 x 15 cm), 2 pans - plastic (ø 17.5 cm), manual.
